He is criticizing the format, he can do simple math just as well as others do. I don't see it as bad format that 5-2 (2-1) and 5-3 (2-1) beats out 4-4 (2-1) in a group stage. | ||

 Keen is great vZ and Nerchio is a ZvZ specialist.Also not that great for Liquid fans - Taeja and HerO will face each other in the Ro16 and one is going to go out. Naniwa and SaSe are on the same side of the bracket and are not able to make the grand finals together. | ||

In the dreamhack system you HAVE to try to 2-0 every match, 2-1 is (as we see right here) not an option. So people will do the build they feel most comfortable with. Remember Nestea's spine crawler rush that worked in GSL a few months ago? Or the failed one he tried earlier this week? Neither of those would EVER happen in this tournament because it's just not worth the risk of being eliminated. You're making zero sense | ||

I wonder if HerO will be able to continue his dominating performance (18-0 currently), he does have to face TaeJa next round which will be a real test and unfortunate team kill. Other than that the Play-Off bracket is looking very interesting. Keen vs Stephano, NaNiwa vs sLivko, ret vs SaSe, Nerchio vs BratOK. I think Ret probably in the best position to take the bottom half the bracket, and HerO/TaeJa could potentially take the top half. The potential story lines are amazing: potential HerO repeat, potential HerO undefeated run, potential Liquid Final, etc. | ||

The obvious advantage is players have to do play their best, so it's perhaps a win-win scenario for spectators. | ||

Lower bracket will probably have Naniwa or Sase. Nice for the Swedes though. | ||
